KOLKATA: The defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be back in action at the iconic Eden Gardens as they are all set to clash against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in an Indian Premier League 2025 season opener on Saturday. Mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, who was the cornerstone of KKR’s success last year, spoke about the franchise building up for the title defense and said if the team is able to crack the code of having the best playing XI performing consistently, then there are great chances ahead in the tournament.
“The squad looks good. I think it’s about cracking the code and having the best playing XI performing consistently. If we are able to get a set core in the first three matches, then we have great chances ahead in this season.”
Chakaravarthy picked 14 wickets in the five-match T20I series against England and was adjudged the Player of the Series for his stellar bowling performance in January. IANS
